It's Not THAT Far...

This is a conversation I had with Caitlin on the way home from school today...

Caitlin: "Hey Momma, can I ride my bike to school Monday?"
Me: "No Cait. It's way too far. It takes me 10 minutes just to drive there at 55mph. If you rode your bike, you would have to get up in the middle of the night to make it to school on time."
Caitlin: "Nuh-Uh. It's not THAT far. All I would have to do is drive, drive, drive...turn, drive, drive, drive...stop at the stoplight...drive, drive, drive...and I would be there. See? It would be very easy!"
Me: "Is that all you would have to do? Well, sweety let me tell you something. It's not that easy."
Caitlin: "Ok, let's make a bet that I can make it on time, and I can test it out tomorrow."
Me: "Cait, you don't have enough money to make a bet that would convince me to let you try."
Caitlin: "Uh-huh! I do too! I have 2 quarters!"
